President Donald Trump unleashed a series of tweets on Tuesday morning lashing out at his own attorney general for his ‘VERY weak’ position on Hillary Clinton’s emails and lawmakers on Capitol Hill for the ‘witch hunt’ probes into Russian collusion.
The probes have become unfairly far-reaching, the president said.
‘Jared Kushner did very well yesterday in proving he did not collude with the Russians,’ Trump said of his son-in-law’s performance on Monday. ‘Witch Hunt.’
Sessions’ days as attorney general could be numbered.
White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders said shortly after Trump’s tweets on Tuesday that Sessions is the attorney general ‘right now’ and it would be up to the president to decide whether to replace him.
‘I know that he is certainly frustrated and disappointed in the Attorney General for recusing himself,’ she said. ‘That frustration certainly hasn’t gone away.’
In another bad sign for the attorney general, Jeff Sessions, Trump’s new communications director Anthony Scaramucci – who has said the president and the AG need to get together to discuss their differences – spoke of a ‘tension’ between them after being asked if Trump wants Sessions ‘gone.’
‘I do know the president very well, and if there’s this level of tension in the relationship, that that’s public, then you’re probably right,’ Scaramucci told radio host Hugh Hewitt on his show, when asked if Trump wants to fire Sessions.
‘I don’t want to speak for the president on that because he’s a cabinet official, and I sort of think that has to be between the president of the United States and the cabinet official,’ Scaramucci added.
